Abstract
In order to improve the adhesion of water-based adhesive, gemini type nonionic reactive surfactants were synthesized and applied to water-based adhesives. The surfactants were synthesized by using maleic acid and polyoxyethylene cetyl ether having different length of ethylene oxide and confirmed by FT-IR and $^1H-NMR$. Their appearance was light yellow wax. The cloud point of the compound was more than $78^{\circ}C$. The measured critical micelle concentration (c.m.c) was $1.0{\times}10^{-4}{\sim}7.0{\times}10^{-4}mol/L$ and surface tension at c.m.c was 25.9~32.0 mN/m. As the number of ethylene oxide increased, the emulsifying power was improved. The foaming height of each compound by Ross-Miles method was 1.4~4.5 cm. The synthesized surfactants was then used as an emulsifier in emulsion polymerization of water-based adhesives and its physical properties were evaluated. The solid contents of prepared adhesives was 59%. The average particle size and initial tackiness of the prepared adhesives were 164~297 nm and ball no. of 20~32, respectively. The peel strength was $1.8{\sim}2.1kg_f/mm$. The retention rate of adhesives viscosity was evaluated to 99% during 30 days. Therefore, synthesized gemini type nonionic reactive surfactants are expected to be applied as an emulsifier for the high adhesive force.
수용성 접착제의 접착력을 향상시키기 위해 제미니형 비이온 반응성 계면활성제를 합성하여 수계 접착제에 적용하였다. 제미니형 비이온 반응성 계면활성제는 말레산 및 에틸렌옥사이드의 부가몰수가 다른 폴리 옥시 에틸렌 세틸 에테르를 사용하여 합성하였다. 합성된 계면활성제는 FT-IR 및 $^1H-NMR$에 의해 확인되었다. 합성된 화합물은 밝은 노란색 왁스의 형상이었고, 화합물의 운점은 $78^{\circ}C$ 이상이었다. 측정된 임계 미셀 농도(c.m.c)는 $1.0{\times}10^{-4}{\sim}7.0{\times}10^{-4}mol/L$이었고 표면장력은 25.9~32.0 mN/m이었다. 에틸렌옥사이드의 부가몰수가 증가함에 따라 유화력이 향상되었다. Ross-Miles 법에 의한 화합물의 발포 높이는 1.4~4.5 cm이었다. 본 연구에서 합성된 계면활성제는 수성 접착제의 유화 중합에서 유화제로 사용되었으며 그 물성을 평가하였다. 준비된 접착제의 고체 함량은 59%이었다. 접착제의 평균입자크기는 164~297 nm이었다. 접착제의 초기 점착성의 볼 번호는 20~32이었으며, 박리 강도는 $1.8{\sim}2.1kg_f/mm$이었다. 점도 유지율은 30 days 동안 99%로 확인되었다. 합성된 제미니형 비이온 반응성 계면활성제는 점착력을 위한 유화제로 사용될 것으로 기대된다.
